I picked some Japanese lanterns (Physalis) for drying, then decided to put them in water instead.  They are VERY hard to arrange because the orange lanterns are way low on the stem, the leaves are often really ratty. This was the best I could do.

I added some of the leftover pieces of Japanese lantern to flowers and leaves leftover from yesterday's windowsill arrangement. These two daylilies bloomed this morning from buds in yesterday's arrangement. I should reposition the Japanese lanterns or add a few more, but even now, I like the way the orange of the Japanese lanterns draws your attention to the orange daylily anthers.
